Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
The property, built in 1964, has undergone significant recent renovations including new roofs, flooring, paint, light, and plumbing fixtures, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features a new range and updated cabinet hardware, while the bathroom has a new vanity, toilet, and light fixtures. However, both the kitchen and bathroom retain dated tile styles for countertops, backsplashes, and flooring. Additionally, cooling is provided by window AC units rather than a central HVAC system. While extensively updated, these factors prevent an 'Excellent' rating, but the overall condition is clean, functional, and requires no immediate renovations, fitting the 'Good' criteria.
PROSSTRENGTHS & OPPORTUNITIES
- Income-Generating Potential
The property is a duplex, offering the flexibility to live in one unit and rent out the other, providing a significant opportunity for rental income to offset mortgage payments or as a full investment property.
- Extensive Recent Renovations
Units have been recently updated with new roofs, flooring, paint, light, and plumbing fixtures, making them move-in ready and reducing immediate capital expenditures for a buyer.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- Age of Construction
Built in 1964, the property's underlying structure is over 50 years old, which may imply potential for issues with original systems (e.g., HVAC, foundation, older electrical components) not explicitly covered by the recent cosmetic updates.
- Smaller Unit Sizes
With a total of 1716 sqft for two units, each unit is approximately 858 sqft, which may be considered small for some tenants or owner-occupants, potentially limiting the target market.
- Rural Location Drawbacks
While offering peace and quiet, the 'outskirt' location in Mountain Mesa might mean limited access to certain urban amenities, services, or employment opportunities, which could be a drawback for some buyers.
